(Clearwisdom.net) The Dominican Falun Dafa Association participated in the 11th International Book Expo in Santo Domingo. They introduced Falun Dafa to visitors, exposed the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong, and launched a "2008 Million Signature Drive" event to demand that the CCP stop the persecution of Falun Gong before the Beijing Olympics. Many people expressed their support.
The 2008 International Book Expo was organized by the Dominican Ministry of Culture and Book Expo Administration. It focused on countries of the Caribbean and honored Emilio Rodriguez Demorizi, a famous Dominican historian, writer, and lawyer.
The Dominican Falun Dafa Association has participated in the Book Expo every year to promote Falun Dafa and expose the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. This year, the "2008 Million Signature Drive" was initiated by the Global Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG). Its purpose is to end the persecution of Falun Gong before the Beijing Olympics.
In the 21 days of the expo, 4,500 signatures were collected, mostly from students. After we exposed the crimes committed by the CCP, many visitors expressed their support.
In our booth, we also displayed the Epoch Times newspaper, Dominican edition, and people loved it.
Some visitors from other Caribbean countries said they had heard of Falun Gong and knew about the persecution and the "2008 Million Signatures Drive". Some of them even already knew of the Epoch Times. But there is still much work to be done to explain to them all these things. The Book Expo is one of our major events. We use the opportunity to clarify the truth and promote Dafa to people from all over the country.
Every year, we have encountered and overcome many difficulties, attachments and other issues. These help us to practice cultivation and progress. Facing so many people with different notions, it is a big responsibility and mission to help them know the truth. We always try to handle it with wisdom and righteous thoughts.
